FatalExeption Error in LogCat

I don't know why I'm getting this error, I've spent about two hours trying to locate the source, but I just keep going round in circles. Could you have a quick look and see anything wrong?

WakeLock Code:-

wakeLock = powerManager.newWakeLock(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON, "GLGame");

Here's the LogCat output:-

Solution

  • The problem is the creation of the WakeLock instance. From the android sources (API 14):

    WakeLock(int flags, String tag)
{
    switch (flags & LOCK_MASK) {
    case PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK:
    case SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK:
    case SCREEN_BRIGHT_WAKE_LOCK:
    case FULL_WAKE_LOCK:
    case PROXIMITY_SCREEN_OFF_WAKE_LOCK:
        break;
    default:
        throw new IllegalArgumentException();
    }

    mFlags = flags;
    mTag = tag;
    mToken = new Binder();
}

    So the flags you pass to android.os.PowerManager.newWakeLock are invalid.

    Update:

    You must use any of the above flags (e.g. PowerManager.FULL_WAKE_LOCK). You are using a LayoutParam constant which is unrelated to WakeLock.
